CartesianSeries Class

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

The CartesianSeries class inherits from the base PointTemplateSeries class and adds notation for series that are used to visualize data points in the Cartesian coordinate system, by RadCartesianChart. Generally, the cartesian series can be associated either with the owning chart's horizontal and vertical axes or they can be assigned arbitrary axis (axes), thus providing support for multiple-axes Cartesian chart.

Properties

CartesianSeries class inherits from the PointTemplateSeries class -

See the inherited properties.

• HorizontalAxis: Gets or sets the CartesianAxis instance that will be used to plot points along the horizontal (X) axis.

Example 1: Defining a horizontal axis for a BarSeries

XAML

<telerik:BarSeries>
	<telerik:BarSeries.HorizontalAxis>
		<telerik:CategoricalAxis/>
	</telerik:BarSeries.HorizontalAxis>
</telerik:BarSeries>

• VerticalAxis: Gets or sets the CartesianAxis instance that will be used to plot points along the vertical (Y) axis.

Example 2: Defining a vertical axis for a BarSeries

XAML

<telerik:BarSeries>
	<telerik:BarSeries.VerticalAxis>
		<telerik:LinearAxis/>
	</telerik:BarSeries.VerticalAxis>
</telerik:BarSeries>
